About a year ago I decided that I really wanted to...
About a year ago I decided that I really wanted to go ahead with a breast augmentation. After researching a lot of clinics I found the new birkdale clinic and decided to go with Dr Degado. I had my initial consultation where I decided on 275cc implants, medium profile and sub muscular. My surgeon seems really nice, a bit strict but I don't suppose that's a bad thing. Well the day of surgery is tomorrow! I've been told to get everything organised as I won't be able to do much after it so I've been quite busy doing that. The nerves are starting to kick in now! I'll upload both before and after pics on my next review as I thought that they really helped me when decided what size to go to. I'm currently a 32B (a small B!) and want to go to a D. The surgeon hasn't given me a specific size that I'll end up as as he's said it can differ between people. Anyway I'll update soon.
One week post op!
Its been quite a week! so I went into the clinic for the op last Wednesday, they were all lovely and the op went well. When I came round I had little to no pain at all and seemed quite well! it was only when I got home that night that I became aware that I couldn't pee! That lead to a night in hospital and not being able to take any pain meds except paracetamol. Considering I was only taking paracetamol the pain really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! the only way I can describe it is like realllyy badly pulling muscles in your chest.
The next few days following my op the pain got considerably less however that's when the back pain kicked in! Following a BA you can only sleep on your back which has really caused me a lot of discomfort but im hoping this will fade when I can finally start sleeping on my side again. If your thinking of having s BA id just suggest stocking up on pillows, blankets and most importantly tops that zip or button up at the front.
On day 5 I got to go back to the clinic and have my bandages taken off which went well. That was the first time I really got to see my new assets! I could instantly see a big change!
They don't look really swollen or hard but I've been told to get Bio-oil to make sure I don't get stretch marks.
Looking forward to next week as im having my 2 stiches taken out! My surgeon only did one anchor stich in each side then a dissolvable strip which I was pretty happy about!
I'll upload more pics of the scar when I get my stiches out
